Non-sweet snacks

[griswalds]

I have QSPD booked for May which includes 2 snacks/day. I started researching the snacks and found the thread with the great pictures of various snacks. Everything looks great and I'm very excited but I got to thinking. My 2 meals come with a dessert and I get 2 snacks a day--that's a lot of sugar. Now don't get me wrong I can do sugar with the best of them but that might be a little excessive even for me, much less my kids. So my question is-- what is everyone's favorite non-sweet snack? Pictures and locations would be appreciated.

We were at the all star music last time. They have small containers with veggie mixes in them. Our kids love vegetables, so this was great. You are supposed to enjoy eating while on vacation, but this was a nice break from the sugars. We did a lot of buffets, so they were getting vegetables, but the fresh ones always got devoured.

We used ours for snacks like popcorn and drinks. With eating our meals 2-3 times a day snacks weren't that important as the kids were way too full to eat many so we ended up using alot at the candy store

A CS in Animal kingdom (I think it had a name like the Yak and Yeti but I can't remember what it was.) Had eggrolls and fried rice as snack credits! The fried rice serving size was HUGE and they were both really good!

I think the ham and cheese croissant at the Patisserie in France at Epcot is a snack credit. Haven't tried it yet but I heard it is good.

You could also use snack credits on fruit. I know it is still sweet but at least it is a good healthy snack.

Some CS locations at resorts allow a bagel for a snack credit (available at breakfast).

Soft pretzels are snack credits. Still starchy, but not sweet. Get one in Germany!!

Unfortunately the ham and cheese croissant is no longer listed for a snack credit.

There is a sticky at the top of the forum that has everything listed that you can get for your snack credits including some things that are not marked in the parks. I plan to print it out and take it with me. I am also going to highlight all the savory snacks, if there are still any by the time we leave.

There is also popcorn and some nuts that might qualify.

You can also get biscuits and gravy at some of the Value resort food courts.

I miss the onion rings at Flame Tree which used to be a snack credit.

Veggies and dip, soft pretzels, popcorn, bags of chips, bottles of water or milk, many sides at QS restaurants (such as fries), nuts.

We actually just returned from our Disney trip. One night we skipped our meals so we could have more dining credits for signature restaurants. We were able to have Chili and Soup in our hotel (Wilderness Lodge) for snack credits.

Every item that counts as a snack has a snack icon next to it. I never found carrying a list to be needed.

One item that was included two years ago was a cup of chili, or sometimes another cup of soup.

In some QS places one of the better places to look is the refrigerated case.

I suppoe this is obvious, but milk is an option if you want a non-sweet beverage.

We've found that we often use the snacks for fruit. Otherwise all of WDW tends to be light on fruits and veggies...sometimes we'll just pay oop for an extra veggie at dinner.

One other itmen of note - lots of times, instead of a 'dessert' you can get yogurt. Yeah, it is still sweet - but not so much sugar. Many places on preoprty sell a 'light' yogurt. You can sometimes also sub the dessert for an extra beverage - like abottled water.

Sometimes we bring home some of the snacks we can't eat.Some prepackaged rice crisie treats and prepackaged crakers and prepackaged candies count as snacks.

During F&W - lots of the smaller sample food items counted as 'snacks' That was perhaps the best discovery of our whole trip! At one booth I was ableto get a mini lobster roll! It was mini - but as a 'snack' it was a good option. (Not worth the $10 they were charging though.)

Not entirely accurate: every item with a snack icon counts as a snack; however, there are sometimes other items that do not have the icon, but that are single-serve and under $4 that can be gotten for a snack credit some or all of the time, such as the funnel cakes at the Magic Kingdom and the Kaki Gori in the Japan pavilion.

I make a list because there is no way I can remember all the different choices let alone exactly where they are to be found. I make it in a two column format, delete all the places (mostly resorts) that I know I will not be looking for food, delete the sodas and other items that I do not need to remember or want, then I put the new items I want to try in one color, breakfast items in another, savory and so on. It fits on two pages but I have been known to get it down to one page on occasion. I am nearsighted so a small font works for me.

Just makes it easier for when I get the munchies and want to find a particular category.
